Bought this at an auction yesterday, I new nothing about it, just liked the colours.
I'm straying from my comfort zone on this, from what I've found out, it dates from 1891 - 1900+, was hand painted, & appears to be a open sugar bowl.
Mfg. by Spode for T, Goode & Co. a high end store.
Dia. 2 7/8"
hight 1 5/8"

Pattern #R5159
Thanks to annerobertson60 for figuring out this mystery.

Have you tried this? They are supposed to have all answers. Good luck.

walksoftly, 4 years ago@ nldionne thanks for that link, I searched on that yesterday, so far no luck.
Thanks for your interest & help in this.

nldionne, 4 years agoDid you see stokes archive, can send picture and they will research supposedly.

walksoftly, 4 years agoHi eye4,
I did look at your comment # 9, it is close but there are differences. That garden scene is used on several different patterns that I found. It seems they mixed & matched the inner scenes with different borders & colours.
Even the two cups/bowls that I have are slightly different.
One thing that I noticed with these is the quality of craftsmanship isn't as good as other Spode items, is it possible they are for cheaper sets to be sold on mass through the T Goode & Co store.

walksoftly, 4 years agoHi nldionne, I did see the contact info for the archive research, unfortunately I also saw what they charge for their services.

nldionne, 4 years agoAhhhhh, sorry didn't see that. Wish I could have helped. If you could read the numbers may lead to pattern. I've looked at so many that Chinese Rose is imbedded on my retinas.

walksoftly, 4 years ago@ eye4, I think I'm a little slow and or tired & confused, I see a lot of images in that link but what one were you referring to.

walksoftly, 4 years agoEye4 in the link you provided # 25 there is no individual image, all I get is the full batch of images under the search term copeland spode t, goode & co.

walksoftly, 4 years agoThanks so much eye4 for your help & research & patience on this mystery.
You are correct on the fact that it is the similar, this pavilion or garden scene shows up numerous times in various patterns.
If I understand the transfer technique properly, they first did a master engraving on copper, then did a reverse image on paper. This could then be used as a complete image or cut into it's various elements & combined with other engravings to come up with a new pattern.
The elusive part is now to find the garden scene in combination with the border pattern.

annerobertson60, 1 year agoHave you been able to find anything out? I have 12 dinner plates that I adore. Same border, same scene. Yours is the first piece I've ever seen that was the same. Looking for more pieces, but don't know where to look until I know the name.

walksoftly, 1 year ago@ annerobertson60, no it still remains a mystery.
Sounds like you found a mother load, twelve dinner plates amazing!

annerobertson60, 1 year agoThey were passed down from my grandmother :) I didn't have to look! Thanks, Robin. I'll give them a try.

annerobertson60, 1 year agoI found an advertisement from a magazine dated March 1917 that lists it as a new pattern (with photo). Unfortunately it still doesn't give the name, but it does describe it as a Chinese pagoda pattern with a Chippendale edge.

annerobertson60, 1 year agoBehold the power of Google! How amazing that we live in a time when that kind of thing can get picked up! It could also be that the author wrote the ad (more like an article, really) as a contributing writer to the magazine. Seems like a precursor to her book, perhaps.

walksoftly, 1 year agoAnne can you post a link to that add as I couldn't find it.

annerobertson60, 1 year agoWalksoftly, I've looked for pieces for sale for a while. Yours is the ONLY piece I've ever seen. I went through every Spode pattern on replacements until I hit it. "Searching" didn't produce anything. Definitely helped to have the dinner plate for reference. Glad the mystery's been solved! Enjoy your sweet little bowl!

walksoftly, 1 year agoAnne does yours have the Copeland Spode mark or just the Spode mark on it?
